00:10.640 --> 00:14.190
Bold quest is a recurring series of

00:14.200 --> 00:16.950
operational demonstrations in which we

00:16.950 --> 00:18.670
bring coalition warfighters ,

00:18.670 --> 00:20.781
technicians and analysts together and

00:20.781 --> 00:23.340
problem solving partnerships that

00:23.340 --> 00:26.340
ultimately result in a , we call a

00:26.350 --> 00:28.517
major operational demonstration in the

00:28.517 --> 00:31.710
field . So it's testing uh , under

00:31.710 --> 00:33.932
operational conditions , to the maximum

00:33.932 --> 00:36.660
extent that we can replicate those

00:38.040 --> 00:40.870
at the top of that list is the expanded

00:40.870 --> 00:42.592
work in what we call the human

00:42.592 --> 00:44.380
dimension of coalition combat

00:44.380 --> 00:47.160
identification for for a number of

00:47.160 --> 00:50.880
years . And for the first few uh series

00:50.880 --> 00:53.102
of bold quest over the , over the first

00:53.102 --> 00:55.090
few years are the focus was on

00:55.090 --> 00:57.860
technology technical solutions to the

00:57.860 --> 01:00.080
needs of the war fighter this time

01:00.080 --> 01:02.247
around . We are doing a lot of that as

01:02.247 --> 01:04.890
well , but we have a significant human

01:04.890 --> 01:06.779
dimension element in which we are

01:06.779 --> 01:08.940
investigating the stress of human

01:08.940 --> 01:11.500
decision making , uh , at the

01:11.500 --> 01:14.040
dismounted warfighter level as well as

01:14.040 --> 01:16.151
training solutions to deal with those

01:16.151 --> 01:18.770
kinds of stress factors . So , uh , a

01:18.770 --> 01:21.430
significant additional piece in this ,

01:21.440 --> 01:24.460
in this version of all questions and

01:25.440 --> 01:27.773
well , the venue meets all of our needs .

01:27.773 --> 01:29.830
It's rare to find a venue that does

01:29.830 --> 01:32.520
that when I say that it's not only the

01:32.520 --> 01:35.140
obvious air and ground space , but it's

01:35.140 --> 01:37.510
the event control facilities that are

01:37.520 --> 01:39.870
available to us here at Atterbury as

01:39.870 --> 01:42.750
well as the proximity of the airfield

01:43.140 --> 01:45.680
uh , in past events . Sometimes the

01:45.680 --> 01:47.624
things that are co located here at

01:47.624 --> 01:49.791
Atteberry have been separated by 40 or

01:49.791 --> 01:52.130
100 miles and makes it very difficult

01:52.140 --> 01:54.362
to control an event data data have that

01:54.362 --> 01:56.620
all here at Atteberry with all the

01:56.620 --> 01:59.270
range facilities that we have here ,

01:59.280 --> 02:01.620
not to mention the unique capabilities

02:01.620 --> 02:03.740
down in muscat atop it is a rare find

02:03.740 --> 02:06.690
for us . It's going great by all

02:06.690 --> 02:09.300
accounts , all the , The National

02:09.300 --> 02:11.880
Representatives from the 12 other

02:11.880 --> 02:13.991
nations that are here with the US are

02:13.991 --> 02:15.936
reporting that they're meeting all

02:15.936 --> 02:17.991
there data collection objectives and

02:17.991 --> 02:20.324
and in a number of cases exceeding them .

02:20.324 --> 02:22.380
So the weather's cooperating , we're

02:22.380 --> 02:25.820
getting the data we need and I just

02:25.820 --> 02:28.200
can't , I can't say that there's any

02:28.200 --> 02:30.430
real area in which we've fallen below

02:30.430 --> 02:32.160
expectations as a group .

02:33.240 --> 02:36.710
Well , there's several precedents or

02:36.710 --> 02:40.060
high points . Uh the fact that

02:40.680 --> 02:43.580
this time around our european allies

02:43.580 --> 02:45.750
have carried , the preponderance of

02:45.760 --> 02:49.130
providing ground troops and technical

02:49.130 --> 02:51.710
initiatives is kind of crosses a

02:51.710 --> 02:53.932
threshold for this bold quest process .

02:53.932 --> 02:57.510
In the past , the U . S . Has led in

02:57.510 --> 03:00.750
that area , those areas . So this is ,

03:00.750 --> 03:02.861
this is kind of a precedent , I would

03:02.861 --> 03:05.083
say that's a high point , although it's

03:05.083 --> 03:07.194
not a , you know , I can't pinpoint a

03:07.194 --> 03:09.250
specific point on a day , but it's a

03:09.250 --> 03:11.306
that's a that's a high point , There

03:11.306 --> 03:13.417
are a number of presidents throughout

03:13.417 --> 03:17.160
the event , numerous ones , but uh The

03:17.170 --> 03:19.337
share of this load that our allies are

03:19.337 --> 03:21.559
carrying is really a high point of full

03:21.559 --> 03:23.850
quest . 11 . Well , when , when . Okay ,

03:24.340 --> 03:26.950
no , again , I think this is just a ,

03:26.960 --> 03:29.190
you know , from my perspective is an

03:29.190 --> 03:31.190
operational manager to find a venue

03:31.190 --> 03:34.250
like this is a rare find . Uh there are

03:34.250 --> 03:36.030
there are a lot of very capable

03:36.040 --> 03:38.370
installations around the country that

03:38.370 --> 03:40.314
are in that are in high demand for

03:40.314 --> 03:42.537
training as this one is . But to find a

03:42.537 --> 03:44.648
venue that's available to us with all

03:44.648 --> 03:46.759
the support that was readily provided

03:46.759 --> 03:48.800
is a rare find . What
